I started getting adjusted by Dr. Stanbridge 5 weeks ago. My pain went from a 4 to a 0. History: I’m 41. I had a microdiscectomy on L4/L5 4 years ago and was never out of pain post op. I’ve had 5 births and multiple surgeries, that surgery was by far the most pain I have experienced in my life. When I had a flare up my pain would be at a 8-10. Which was caused if I stood on my feet too long, bent down too many times in one day, or deep cleaned my house. My former chiropractor told me ‘I had to get surgery’ because ‘there was no other way to get those discs out of my spinal nerves’. When I came here they got me X-rays and looked up my 3 previous MRIs. Dr. Stanbridge saw my MRI scan prior to my back surgery and said I didn’t need surgery, that he could have fixed it. The 3rd MRI (2021) showed my disc, that was trimmed, was back in my spinal nerves. For 3 years I had no idea because no one had called me to give me my results. So back surgery was pointless anyways. Dr. Stanbridge explained what the root cause of the herniations. Which was my # 1 question I never got the answer to from my former chiropractor or surgeon. It was because my neck had no curve, it was completely straight, and that my lower back was overcompensating for that and over extending, putting a lot of pressure on those discs especially when I bent down and lifted. Not once was this explained to me by my former chiropractor or surgeon. Meaning the last 4 years he was not adjusting me to get rid of the root cause of the problem, he was adjusting me to get me out pain. Dr. Stanbridge is very thorough with his adjustments (like the Chiropracter’s on TikTok :). He explains everything in detail and has answered all my questions above and beyond. More than I could have imagined honestly. In 3 weeks my pain went from a 4 to 0. I haven’t wore my back brace in 2 weeks. I haven’t woken up in pain in weeks. I can walk around for hours without my back brace and NO PAIN 🥲. I had this prompting to search for chiropractors that specialize in herniated discs. This place was one of few that popped up. I gave it it a try- thinking maybe my pain would go down to a 2 or be told that my case was hopeless. I had no idea it was possible to be out of pain again. It is a 80 mile drive round trip for me. I go twice a week. And it is worth my time and expenses to be pain free. I thought I had to live the rest of my life in that debilitating pain. I came to him just hoping I could clean my house again without it costing me a week of bed rest. What I have is so much more than that. Freedom. It is so liberating to be pain free.
Dr. Stanbridge is the most qualified chiropractic doctor I’ve met! I’ve met many. He never ceases to amaze with his quality of work and skill. The staff is also amazing! I’d never go anywhere else. He really is a magician with his craft. Go see them! You won’t be disappointed! And you’ll be pain free!
